Brother, can you spare approximately $90,000? :-) That's about what it will initially cost for the validations suites alone, plus a $50K/year contract to keep it active. And the per-copy royalties for each and every copy sold as "UNIX" - that could easily run another $50K, depending. Trust me, I've talked with X/Open a fair bit about this, and I've done my best to explain the uniqueness of our situation. To date, however, their prices remain unchanged and thus so also does our "UNIX" brand status. Jordan
